Chapter46 Configuring Bridging Policies on Firewall Devices
MAC Address Table Page
Note The IPv6 Neighbor Cache entries are the IPv6 equivalent of the static ARP entries, managed on the ARP
Table Page, page46-3.
If an entry for a specified IPv6 address already exists in the neighbor discovery cache—learned through
the IPv6 neighbor discovery process—the entry is automatically converted to a static entry. Static entries
in the IPv6 neighbor discovery cache are not modified by the neighbor discovery process.
The IPv6 Neighbor Cache page is a standard Security Manager table, with Add Row, Edit Row and
Delete Row buttons. (These are standard buttons, as described in Using Tables, page 1-45.) The Add
Row button opens the Add IPv6 Neighbor Cache Configuration dialog box, and Edit Row opens the Edit
IPv6 Neighbor Cache Configuration dialog box. Other than the titles, the two dialog boxes are identical.
Note Ensure that IPv6 is enabled on at least one interface before trying to add a neighbor.
Field Reference
MAC Address Table Page
Use the MAC Address Table page to add static MAC address entries to the MAC Address table. The table
associates the MAC address with the source interface so that the security appliance knows to send any
packets addressed to the device out the correct interface.

•(Policy view) Select PIX/ASA/FWSM Platform > Bridging > MAC Address Table from the
